Shane Richie has revealed he once found out a woman had been living in his garden "hiding in the trees" after his neighbours called the police

The 'EastEnders' actor - who has sons Shane Jr., 26, and Jake, 23, with ex-wife Coleen Nolan, and kids Mackenzie, nine, Lolita, seven, and Romani, four, with wife Christie - had no idea a female had been "hiding in the trees" in the grounds of his home until police were called following a report from a neighbour.

He said: "Once a fan camped out at the bottom of the garden. She was sleeping and hiding in the trees.

"It would appear that when she saw the blue flashing lights, she ran away never to return.
